Back & Forth

We were never ugly

Yesterday I remembered the time I had depression, and couldn't' t get myself to say more than the fact that it looked ugly.

I don't talk about sensitive subjects as such because I know it demands a lot of tact and sometimes, I can't help but being rude and stubborn with my ideas.

I love the idea of change because that's the only hope left to me. I tell people to fight because that's what I did. I am sometimes stubborn because it guided to where I am...

Depression is a sensitive subject not because it should be, but because we handle life differently.

I can't tell you to overcome your demons the same way I did.

I don't expect you to understand my emotions; you're probably unfamiliar with them.

I am not you; you are not me, but we can always try to understand each other, and if it's too much to ask for...

Leave my peace at peace.
